No ban on push-ups, says Najam Sethi

KARACHI: After torrent of tweets mocking the ruling party legislator for objecting to ‘celebratory push-ups’ by Pakistan team players, Chairman of PCB’s executive committee Najam Sethi took to the Twitter to clarify that players can rejoice victory the way they want.

In his couple of tweets, Mr. Sethi said it was players’ discretion to do push-ups, sajda (prostrate) or anything to celebrate a triumph.

Oh for God’s sake, there is no ban on pushups! In fact I think players should do 100 pushups when they score a century!! 👍

He said the Pakistan Cricket Board appreciated the training facilities by Pakistan Army, which had been utilized thrice in last six years (by the team).

Earlier in the day, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Inter-Provincial Coordination objected to press-ups performed by the Pakistan team players after victory and even asked ‘whom did the players were giving message with those push-ups.”
